5.0

Elinor Lipman delights with a book of short stories, each of which leaves the reader salivating for more. Had this collection been a thousand pages, rather than a mere 200, readers would still have devoured it with as much fervor! Maybe more, for plot resolutions would have been more forthcoming, instead of leaving the reader with little or no resolution.

Fans of Tom Hank's Uncommon Type should peruse Into Love and Out Again for stories that both squeeze the heart, and cause involuntarily laughter from their clever witticisms.

This is a wonderful, surprising little book. Be on the lookout for 80s era tropes but don't mind them, they don't obscure the truth of things that happen to and between the characters you meet. It's wry and honest and bittersweet and funny.
